The both noticed it. The past lovers from back in Makai, where together, in the same room, after 18 long years. Kurama insisted to his parents that he take her out so they could get to know eachother, except for them staying in the house, saying that it would be great for them to have some alone time. They bother agreed and let them on their way, Shiori slipping Kurama some money for he could buy her dinner. Kurama just chuckled and kissing his mother on the forhead goodbye. They started to head down the rode.

Kanako just glarred at him," You fucker. We all could have sworn you died!" she growled, seeming really hurt.

Kurama sighed. Yep. Kanako was still the same wolf demon as she used to," I know. That was the point. I got chased out of the demon world by a hunter... and Kana" He sighed. Yoko always used Kana when he was showing sympathy to her. It was a pet name that usually calmed her down," What was I suposed to do? I was injured and if I didn't think quick.. I really would have died."

Kurama's voice was soft, smooth, and ran like velvet. He could understand why Kanako would be hurt and cross with him. They where in love when they where in Makai and they where mates. He could have at least went back and told her he was safe. He COULD have... he never did though. He didn't know why. Maybe he was scared to. Or even maybe.. he was asshamed. Ashamed that he had to leave her. He had to admit, he looked at other girls, and everytime he would even think of dating one, he would remember Kanako. No memory was so sweet...

Kanako sighed. She knew what he did was what he had to do," Couldn't you at least found me...?" She whispered lightly," You don't understand.. how much I missed you Kurama..." Yoko used to use that exact tone with her, and everytime he did, it brought all her defences down. He always did it when he wanted her to just let go.

They where walking through the park, and Kurama noticed the nearest empty bench. Kurama just sighed. "Maybe it would be best if he sat down and turned, Kana". He took her hand and lightly laced her fingers with hers as he led her over to it. Not many people seemed to be in the park at this time, and Kurama was happy about that. He didn't need to worry about anyone overhearing them. They sat down, and Kurama held his hand strong on hers, stroking it lightly. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. He didn't want to admit he was scared. He just.. didn't want to," I just.. I couldn't..."

Kanako just looked down at her lap," You are and always were a horrible liar around me Kurama," She said, lifting her eyes to look at him. He deffentally had changed. His eyes where no longer gold, they where green as the stem of a rose, and of course, he resembled one too, seeing as though the top of his head was covered with fine red hair that would resemble the petals. No matter how much he changed from his Yoko form, he was still as handsome as ever, and she could tell the Yoko was still in him," Give me a real reason."

"Explain to me how you are in a human form first," Kurama said, wanting to bide for time.He was curious though. Kanako had changed, too. Her hair color may have not changed, but it was alot longer then Kanako would have liked to keep it. Kanako's eyes had changed too. They used to be the most beautifulest shade of silver, but now they where the color of the sky on a beautiful spring morning. He still found her very attractive.

Kanako sighed," The bandits knew I was your mate, and well, they chased after me.. and I guess that I just took the same path you did and jumped into a womans womb," She chuckled and looked up at him. Ironic much? "Makes me giggle, actually. Can you just say soul mates?" She asked, squeezing his hand lightly. God. She still loved Kurama, after so many years she just loved him. Her human parents tired to get her to date, tried to get her to date anyone. But she just couldn't. She felt as though if she did she would have been cheating on her true love. Yoko Kurama," There is my story. Now yours. Why didn't you find me?"
"Because I was scared... scared that you would be angry with me. I didn't... I didn't want to see the hurt on your face," He whispered softly.

Kanako chuckled and shook her head," Really. Is that all? I thought Yoko would have a better reason," She chucked and leaned back against the bench.

"Hey! You could have always saught me out you know." Kurama smirked, glaring at her with a look that only Yoko Kurama could pull off. This was how most of their arguments back in Makai started.

"Pssht. For all I knew you where dead! Not my fault you got injured for a stupid little hunter and couldn't defend yourself." She smirked and raised her hand in the hair with the hugest grin on her face. "I mean.. hell. At least I can defend myself against a hunter while I am trying to steal something,"

"Oh really. Last time I checked I had to keep saving you everyday," Kurama said with a slight shrug as he looked up to the sky. His voice was starting to sound more and more like Yoko as he spoke," And then at night, I would wisk you away back to my home stead and make sure you moaned my name." He smirked to himself as he closed his eyes contently.

Kanako turned her head to him," Hmph. Right. Because all those moans for you where 'Oh' so real."

Kurama turned to look at her,"I know they where! Thank you! Because you would yell out my name and-" Kanako tried to smack him, but it was a lost cause. Kurama noticed it and grabbed onto her wrist. Hard enough to stop it, but not enough to hurt. He just smiled lightly and leaned down to kiss her lightly on the lips," Its.. great to have you back Kanako. I missed you"
